CENP-E Description

Background

CENP-E, Centrosome-associated protein E, is a kinesin-like minus-end directed microtubule motor protein that accumulates in the G2 phase of the cell cycle. Unlike other centrosome-associated proteins, it is not present during interphase and first appears at the centromere region of chromosomes during prometa-phase. CENP-E is proposed to be one of the motors responsible for mammalian chromosome movement and/or spindle elongation. CENP-E interacts with CENP-F and BUBR1 kinase. CENP-E associates with kinetochores during congression, relocates to the spindle midzone at anaphase, and is quantitatively discarded at the end of the cell division.

This protein A purified monoclonal antibody was produced by repeated immunizations with a full length recombinant protein corresponding to human CENP-E protein.

Immunogen Type

Recombinant Protein

Storage Condition

Store vial at -20° C prior to opening. Aliquot contents and freeze at -20° C or below for extended storage. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Centrifuge product if not completely clear after standing at room temperature. This product is stable for several weeks at 4° C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use.

Application Note

This protein A purified antibody has been tested for use in immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescence staining and western blot and is capable of detecting endogenous protein. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect a predominant band at ~ 320 kDa corresponding to full-length protein by western blotting in the appropriate cell lysate or extract.

Purity/Specifity

This Protein A purified antibody is directed against human CENP-E protein. The product was purified from tissue culture supernatant by chromatography. This antibody reacts with CENP-E from human cells. Reactivity against homologues from other sources is not known.
